Rumors that the Arikzor market will close turned out to be false

Rumors that the market Urikzor, located in the Uchtepa district, will be closed, demolished, or reconstructed have recently attracted serious public attention. Many social media users have begun to spread information that the market’s operations may be suspended. In this regard, the Tashkent city administration made an official statement.

According to the statement provided by the city government, no demolition, closure, or reconstruction work is planned on the territory of the Urikzor trade complex. All shops, pavilions, and trading points continue their activities without change. It was noted that the market operates 7 days a week, without any days off, in accordance with the approved schedule.

The administration clarified that the spread information is not true and is considered baseless. No construction work has begun at the market, and there are no such plans for the future either.

At the same time, the city administration urged the public to rely on official sources and not to believe unconfirmed reports spreading on social media.

Although no changes are currently observed at the market, some citizens may have mistaken certain technical movements at the commercial spots as demolition or reconstruction. This could naturally lead to incorrect conclusions.

It is worth noting that earlier this year another large market in Uchtepa district — the construction market “Stroy Gorod” — was temporarily closed. The reason for this was serious fire safety violations and legal breaches. The market’s operation was suspended by court decision and resumed only after the Ministry of Emergency Situations confirmed all issues had been resolved.

After this case, assumptions that the Urikzor market would also be closed might have arisen among the public. However, the Tashkent city administration refuted such information and stated that the Urikzor market continues functioning without any changes.

Currently, the number of visitors to the trade complex remains unchanged. People continue shopping at the market from morning to evening. Shops, cafes, and service points serve customers as usual.

Entrepreneurs working at the market also expressed surprise about the circulating rumors. They emphasized that there have been no restrictions or official warnings regarding their operations.

On-site observations also confirm that the market is operating in its usual state, and there is no reason for concern. Such rumors only reduce activity in the market and create unfounded doubts among people.

According to experts, in such situations, citizens should trust only the information provided by official state bodies. Messages in Telegram channels and on social networks are often baseless, edited, or misleading.

In conclusion, the official statement of the Tashkent city administration put an end to all suspicious information surrounding the Urikzor market. The trade complex continues its full operations and faces no obstacles in serving the public.

It should be noted that such rumors may sometimes be caused by personal interests, competition, or misunderstandings. False rumors create unnecessary public concern.

Therefore, following official information, using reliable sources, and refraining from spreading misinformation is the responsibility of every citizen. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
